Our first experience with your company was in Burlington where we met Paulina, who was an angel. In Orangeville at Avalone your caregivers were once again caring and patient. We were impressed with their understanding regarding our family members condition.

Best home care services in Cambridge area. We have been using care services for my parents through different companies for past four years. Home Instead is by far the best, caregivers and office staff , both are exceptional. Calls are taken and scheduling concerns discussed and resolved rightaway. My parents are high needs, non verbal clients. It is taken care that they get familiar staff who can speak their language and are aware of their life styles. Awesome service.

I can’t speak highly enough of Home Instead and their staff. The entire experience from the time we had our first consultation, to the process of finding the most compatible caregiver right up to the time we had to cancel the services. The staff was friendly and efficient and were not only knowledgeable but also took the time to address all our questions and concerns leaving my mom feeling confident in the care she would receive. For anyone considering home care I would look no further than Home Instead. Thank you Home Instead for your services and companionship!!
